    But also don’t forget that the amount of gamers is larger today than in 2013. Gaming is much more mainstream, and so even 97% of the install base is still disappointing considering steam grew by, what, 3x or something in terms of average monthly users?

    Another source I found is that the amount of total gamers grew by roughly 50% from 2013 to 2025. But yeah, I just did a quick skin numbers are not precise

    But still, 97% is disappointing considering the general demographic was supposed to grow. And then, in reality, it’s just 67% too

      Yeah that’s a good point.

      If gaming grew and the total userbase is the same now, then it’s smaller by percentage.

      That must been that PC is just exploding in popularity over the time period in question.
